Federal No. 209A Primers

The No. 209A Champion Primer is particularly adaptable
to a variety of powders. The basic lead styphnate mixture,
a Federal exclusive, is non-mercuric, non-corrosive, and
stable over extreme ranges of temperature and humidity.
The 209A provides instant, full, and dependable ignition
with uniform ballistics.
The close manufacturing control of primer pellet weight
and all primer dimensions assures consistent sensitivity
and performance.
The package for Federal No. 209A Primers features a deeper plastic tray for added safety and easier handling.

controlled compression on firing. The protective segments of the shot container reduce shot
pellet deformation for truer flight and improved patterns without barrel leading. The over
powder section provides a primary seal of the powder gas.
